Can you remember from way back when

It was the summer that we became best friends

And we made a promise that nothing could tear us apart

Now we used to hang out behind the old motel

We'd throw apples at cars and run like hell

We might've had a few close calls, but we never got caught

But when the sun went down we didn't go home yet

We would lay on the grass and smoke cigarettes

And stare up at the sky and count up all the stars, that's when



Chorus:

The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever

But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember

Though time slips by, the memories remain

I could never forget when the nights were young



Back then they said that we were way too young

But we were old enough to have some fun

And we'd laugh until it hurt and we were both in tears

Now we used to stake out the neighborhood liquor store

We couldn't go inside for a couple years more

So we'd send the older kids to sneak a couple of beers

We didn't have a care or a worry back then

We could count on each other through thick and thin

Nothing could come in between us we swore 'till the end, that's when



Chorus



Solo



The nights were young and we thought that they would last forever

But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember

The nights were young and we swore we'd always be together

But we went our separate ways so we'll just have to remember

Though time slips by the memories remain

I could never forget when the nights were young
